MAN HAS HIS EAR BITTEN OFF IN ECCLES

Two men – who claimed to have arrived from Poland a few days earlier - approached the group and one of the men hugged the victim.

While hugging him he then bit off a piece of his ear.

The victim went to the hospital but unfortunately, surgeons were unable to reattach the piece of ear.

The offender is described as white, in his early 30s, with a shaven or bald head and with a suspected broken nose.

He was wearing a white t-shirt, light grey coloured jogging bottoms and hoody.

He spoke with a foreign accent and had a large Viking tattoo on his left forearm. He also had other tattoos on his chest and numerous scars on his stomach.

He was with a male in an orange hi-visibility jacket.

Detective Constable Cathy Blain, from GMP’s Swinton CID, said:
